Russia struck an American business with cruise missiles overnight in one of the largest aerial attacks of the war so far, Ukraine has said.

The Ukrainian air force said some 574 drones and 40 missiles were fired overnight, primarily targeting western regions of the country – far from the battlefield’s front line in the east and south of the country.

The strikes killed one person and injured 15 more and struck a “major American electronics manufacturer”, according to Andrii Sybiha, Ukraine’s foreign minister.

Video footage showed a large fire at the premises of Flex Ltd, a multinational firm headquartered in Texas.

The company manufactures electronic goods including games consoles, laptops and control units for cars and other vehicles.

He's been doing that from the get go.
Easy enough with the half dead Biden.
Another matter altogether with Trump. US arms factories in Ukraine making weapons for Ukraine are fair game.

“Russia bombs US factory in one of war’s largest attacks”

Something tells me it’s not just Ukrainian workers there.

I just wonder how much the Neocons have to pay Americans to work at a Russian cruise missile destination...must be a lot, or perhaps they advertise for Zeepers and can thus pay the (Ukrainian) Minimum Wage.

I am only surprised as to why this tactic didn’t occur sooner unless the factories are only recently there in Western areas of Ukraine. I would think Russia has had the capability to hit these locations the entire time.

Sounds like Zelensky is trying to drag the US into the war.

He and his European allies have been trying to do so since the war began. Trump's promise to give the Z man Article-5-like protection will drag us further into the war. Why? Because IMO the Z man will manufacturer Russian incursion after the Article-5-like agreement, which will then require the U.S. to defend Ukraine with boots on the ground and nukes.

Do not worry zeepers!
Russia is almost out of ammunition.
Putin is dying of cancer.
Russia economy is near collapse.
I am just trying to cheer up the dejected zeepers 😂😂

I agree. We would be doing the same thing if we were in their shoes.

Trump is gonna hammer down some NASTY economic tariffs and sanctions on Russia, or anyone else who does business with them.

The biggest mistake Trump has ever done yet, was to even mention ANY support for either side, but especially the Zidget Zelinsky.

The Ukes probably had to wait till some Russian attack happened close by, then they can run over and put an RPG into the American business.

Russians attack Americans. Pro-Russian posters side with Russians. Interesting, but not unexpected.
